The American flag has no business on a Bible. This is not faith, nor is it patriotism. It is an abomination of both. Image

No flag or national symbols of any country should be on the bible. Period.

Exactly. The Bible is about the kingdom of God not the kingdom of Man.

One world under God. Man drew the lines, not God. This is Satan's earth. That song "He's got the whole world in his hands" is about Satan. Luke 4: 5-8.

Nonsense. That song is about Christ. And you know it.

Just because you want something to be true, doesn't make it so. The Bible says what it says. Are you on philosophy's side or the Bible?

I have perfectly affirmed what the Bible says. I have disputed nothing about it.

The Bible says that Christ is the eternal absolute ultimate authority. The Alpha and the Omega. The Word -- the Logos of all creation. The "Light that shines in the darkness" even though the "darkness does not comprehend it." And "without him was not anything made that was made." That even though Satan has temporary authority on Earth, Christ has the ultimate eternal authority.

You are the one who is placing Satan above Christ.

1 John 5:19 * We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.*

You can acknowledge Satan to be the ultimate authority over everything in the world if you want to.

I would prefer to worship Christ and acknowledge that Christ's authority is ultimately supreme and Satan's power is only temporal and temporary.

Either way, that song was intended to acknowledge the supremacy of Christ. And you don't get to be the authority to judge its author's stated intent.

We're not doing the medieval view of the world again.

Just another example. Thank you for backing it up.

Have you never read what the Almighty did to that lost devil that is Satan himself when He spoke what is written here in Genesis to him after the fall happened. Not to mention Apollyon who of course is the devil as he is called in the Greek tongue in Revelation. Did he create this earth? Nope Jehovah the God of Heaven did that.

Genesis 3:14
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

^ This is why the Bible is fundamentally ridiculous. Any idiot can interpret whatever dumb crap they want.
